Chown problem with arla

Sorry for not answering this until now, but we've been trying to track
the problem.

The problem is most probably caused by a file system function
returning a positive errno (negative errno:s are used in the Linux
kernel). I don't see how that can happen, though. I have seen this
problem, but only once on one machine since the last snapshot. Do you
have a test case that will cause this problem?
